This Hero Is Invincible but Too Cautious

Chapter 104: The Town of Sand

After digging Jonde out of the ground, I talked to Master Isister and got permission to get out the gate to the Aeris continent where the Dead Emperor was, but Sacred Aya didn't let me out the gate right away.

"I don't know where the Dead Emperor is in the Aeris continent, but let's avoid the north close to the Gastraid continent where the Demon King lives anyway. I want to see what's going on from the south first."

"Holy shit. In the south, there seems to be a town called 'Fluwaana'. Do you want to leave the gate while we gather information?

"A town on a continent ruled by the Dead Emperor? Probably already full of undead and ghosts. It's dangerous to let the gates out all over town all of a sudden. Get us five hundred meters further south from there."

"Ugh, yeah. Okay."

It was as discreet as ever, but what Sacred Aya said was also good. I let the gate out of town just like I was told, but still, Sacred Aya doesn't dive the gate. I took the pot-like stuff out of my luggage bag.

"Hey, brave man. What the hell is this?

"It's the pot Baldur the golden god had."

Oh. Speaking of which, Baldur threw salt at me from this pot when Ceremonik cursed me...

And when Saint Ya had taken the salt out of the kettle, he put salt on the bottom of the gate which I had put out. When it's over, it hangs a parallax of salt on my, Kirico's and Johnde's heads. And Jonde turned to his face, and Kiriko wondered unto Saint Aya.

"Shh, Sage. What the hell is this?

"They say salt has the effect of paying for spiritual bad things. It's just a precaution for ghosts. Salt also works on Namekuji"

I don't think Namekuji has anything to do with it at this time... well, I thought this would make me feel like Holy Blessed, so I left it.

At last, Saint Ya hangs his hand on the gate. After slowly opening the door, we dived the gate after Holy Blessing.

"Wow... you're full of sand...!

Out of the gate, Kiriko raised her voice. Kirico is right, three hundred and sixty degrees, with sand spread beneath his feet. Even more overhead is the sun that shines on Cancún. The place we left was in the middle of the desert. Johnde narrows his eyes and looks across the horizon.

"Is that the town of Fulwaana?

It's rocking like a mirage because of the heat, but I saw something town-like ahead that Johnde pointed to.

"Sounds like it. In the meantime, let's walk with that as our goal."

"... wait. Lista."

Holy Aya stopped us trying to make our way to Fluwaana. Looking back, he's bending in and putting his hand on the hot sand.

"What are you doing, Sacred Aya... wow!?

As soon as, a golem appeared out of the sand! Following the integrated golem, two more, three more… Sacred Aya says after creating a total of four golems.

"I decide to go on the back of this golem"

The big hand of a single golem grabbed my body and put it on my own back. Likewise, both Jonde and Kiriko are forced to get on Golem's back.

"Holy shit!? Why!?"

"This is a desert zone. There may be a monster trying to drag you into the hot sand like Ant Hell. If you're still on a giant golem at that time, you'll feel safe first. Besides,"

"And what?

Sacred Aya looked confident when Johnde heard.

"... shall we have fun?

"Yes, no! Not fun at all...!

Johnde is right!! What the hell is so much fun!? I dunno, this brave sensibility......!!

Still, Kirico makes a bright voice.

"I'm having so much fun!

Oh, what the fuck!? I wonder if it feels like you're on Mr. Elephant's back!?

"Uhm. Let's move on then"

And we -- or the golem that put us on our backs moved. But as we walked a few steps, our current sand bulged and fleshy white bones emerged from the ground!

"Hey, what the hell!?

What emerged from the sand was a skeleton with a sword! Nearly ten skeletal swordsmen!

"Oh, hey, brave man! A bunch of skeletons!! You wanna go down from the golem and fight?!?

"There's no need for that. Let's leave this place to the Golem."

The skeletons who wave up their swords, make noises and come close to us. But when he ate Golem's mighty fist on his head, he jumped and fell apart in disgust.

The boulder is a golem made by Holy Blessings with the utmost earthly magic! That's a hell of a fight!

While on the golem, he laid his hands on a skeleton that stopped moving and was a holy blessing to remember to sink the wreckage underground in 'Endless Fall', but when he realized it, he stared at the whole creepy skeleton. Compared to the rest of the wreckage, the body remained firm only with the head damaged.

"Johnde. You want me to try and make this skeleton your new body?

"Yes, no, it doesn't make sense to go from undead to skeleton. I don't like it..."

"No more dead odors, eh?

"Because I don't want to be such a 'bone of a stranger'! Even if you rot, your own flesh is better!

"Oh, boy. He's a luxury guy."

"!! Am I that extravagant!?

Johnde refused to be a skeleton without a head... but, well, that's natural, isn't it? I mean, on second thought, I can't borrow a living human body, so even if I were to transfer Jonde's body, would I have to substitute it with a monster?

Nonetheless, having swept away the skeletons, we started walking toward Fluwaana again. But it's also between bundles. Now there's more than one red jade coming forward! No entity, this monster is definitely...

"Holy shit! Ghost! That's a hell of a number!

There is a resentful man's face floating in his midst. I guess dead human resentment gained the power of the Demon King to become a vicious monster.

"Well, is this the ghost? Now it's time for me to show you the results of my training."

Saint Ya then tries to send a precaution to his own killer sword and activates the ghostbuster (the Spooky Spirit Sword) taught by the Nephites. The sword covered with something like a white membrane, Saint Yi stood still on the golem.

"You too, through the killer sword of your hips."

"Ugh, yeah!

We pull the killer sword out of the sheath that Holy Ya gave us. Then the body is already covered with something like a white membrane, just like the sword of Holy Blessing.

"What!? Is this already expressed by ghostbusters!?

"When I was in the divine world, I conferred spiritual power. I need your help this time."

Rarely, Sage wants us to help her! I've always wanted to be of service to Holy Blessings, but it was a battle, and my hands trembled!

Wow, you fight with this too! I wonder if I can... Yes, no, what are you thinking! Goddess is a brave supporter! We have to work hard!

I imitate Jonde and lay an unfamiliar sword... but Saint Aya has stared at me with her cold eyes.

"What are you doing? Now give your swords to the Golem."

"" Eh!! You're giving it to the Golem!?

Both me and Johnde are surprised, but they give the Golem the sword, as they once said. Receiving the secret sword of spiritual power, the Golem storms the Ghost as it is! I wielded my arm like a marutai as' buh 'and it was slashed! Ghost struck by a Ghostbuster,

"Ooh, ooh..."

I literally, cloud-sprayed as I raised my mourning voice.

... Golem manipulated the Ghostbuster freely and was doing great with us on our backs ever since. Thanks to the golem, the number of ghosts keeps decreasing, but Johnde is a subtle face.

"I'll take care of all the golems... I wonder what it is. You don't feel like you're knocking it down at all..."

"What's the 'feeling of being knocked down'? I don't want that. Safety comes first."

"Well, yes..."

Haha...... So did Mash, but a man still wants to fight monsters.

But I realize that Saint Ya wrinkles between my eyebrows and stares at a point.

"... Hey Kiriko. What are you doing?

I'm surprised to see Kirico. Kirico had not given the killer sword to the Golem. Instead he's shaking and gripping the killer sword himself.

"Wow, I...... would love to fight the Ghost on my own if I could!

"!! Kiri!?

So, no, 'cause you can't say that to Sacred Ya!! For once, it's not difficult for me to get rid of it safely, and I'd rather follow you here...!!

Sacred Aya says, staring at Kiriko.

"You want to test your powers so badly?

"Yes! I want to be strong!

silence to visit. I feared that the profanity of Holy Blessing would be directed at Kirico,

"Fine. Then do it. But don't go down from the Golem until you tell me I'm good, okay?

"Okay!

Oh, alle!? I admitted it!? Somehow, it doesn't look like Holy Aya!?

Unsurprisingly, it seemed to me that I had accepted Kiriko's opinion so much. Holy Blessing,

"... Astral Blake (Phantom Iron Chain)"

Activates Valkyrie's destructive formula that works on ghosts. Make the whole ghost joke with a chain out of your palm. Seeing the ghost completely immobile, Sacred Aya nods.

"All right, Kirico. Attack this ghost."

"Yes!"

or too overprotective!! No, well, that's fine!!

As Kirico descends from the Golem, he approaches the ghost tied up in chains in horror. But in front of the Ghost, Kirico remained trembling all the time.

"What's wrong, Kiri? All you have to do is kill him, okay?

"Oh, um... this ghost, too, I think it was originally human, kind of..."

The gentle Killing Machine of character was really cruising the attack. When Holy Ya exhaled his little sigh, he slashed himself down the ghost he was capturing in Astral Break.

"Ah..."

"If you can't defeat it, you can honestly leave it to the Golem from the start"

"Su, excuse me"

"Kiri! There's nothing you can do! We just have to get used to fighting gradually!

Comforting Kirico, who is depressed, Johnde absurds his voice.

"The new Ghost is showing up again!! More than just now!!

Look, dozens of ghosts coming at us from left to right!

Yikes, too many for sure!! Are you all right?

Then Saint Ya puts his hand in front of his own face.

"Job Change (Vocational Conversion). From Soil Magic Swordsman to Fire Magic Swordsman"

And Sacred Aya turned her hands to the great crowd of Ghost.

"Maximum Inferno (Bombing Red Lotus Prison)"

For a moment, the flames overflowing from the hands of Holy Blessings split in several forms, striking the looming Ghosts! Ghost wrapped around his whole body in red lotus flames,

"Aaaaaaaa......!

Left behind the cry of the severed demon and vanished.

"... flame magic, it's working!! I don't need a ghostbuster!?

"I may have a chance to use it from now on. And if you can defeat it without using a ghostbuster, wouldn't that be good?"

"Well, yeah, but come on... I trained because I didn't feel right..."

"More than that, the ghost has no flesh, so it can't be filled with endless falls. We have to burn it down thoroughly for that matter."

There was a ghost until earlier, but now in a space where nothing was gone, Sacred Aya had painted the flames of the Red Lotus.

"What are you doing, he...!

After sprinkling lots of Baldur salt around as me and John gazed with cold eyes, Saint Ya finally resumed his progress toward the town.

After a short walk on the golem, the whole town of Frwaana comes into view.

"Holy shit! It's almost Fulwaana!

I screamed, it was then.

"Brrr!?

There was a sudden gust of wind. The sand enters my eyes, and I close my eyelids to my stomach. "Come on!" said Johnde next door.

"Ugh, um..."

I rub my eyes and open my eyelids.

- Is that...?

I felt uncomfortable. The appearance of the town of Fulwaana, which I've been watching from afar, seems to have changed slightly.

I tried to think it was my fault. But Sacred Eye hits her tongue with a "chip".

"Careful, Lista. There was a strange feeling when the storm blew."

"Ah! Did you feel Sacred Wow, too?

"After a moment, I may have entered the territory of the Dead Emperor. Don't be careless."

"Ugh, yeah!

Both Johnde and Kiriko nod with a serious face. We were nervous and headed to the entrance to the town of Frwaana.

At the entrance stands a woman wearing an ethnic costume that hides her head completely to avoid wind and sand. When he noticed us, he took the cover off his face. It's a beauty burned in the day.

The woman had a strange look at us coming on the golem, but when she noticed Sacred Aya, she immediately turned to smile.

"Dear Sacred Ya!!

Scream and rush over to the Golem of Holy Blessings. Sacred Aya pulled out her sword.

"Who, you are. Stay away from me."

"Eh! Forgot? It's Mirei, Gresden's wife!

"Neither Gresden nor Miley know anything about either."

"Oh no...!

The woman who named herself Mirei was baffled. This guy must have some knowledge with Sacred Aya a year ago!?

"Excuse me! Sacred Aya, with amnesia!

Follow me as I make laughs.

"Oh, really? In the meantime, when I met you, you seemed fine..."

Hmm? A year ago, I was wondering, "Between us"?

A little strange, Johnde and Kirico smiled and looked at the house of Fluwaana as if it had been painted and cemented with dirt.

"Looks like this town is still safe!

"Looks like the Dead King's hand hasn't arrived here!

Then Millet gives him a decent look.

"The Dead King"? What is it, sir?

"Oh!? Don't you know?

- I can't believe you don't know the names of the monsters that reign on this continent!?

We look at each other, but Mirei says with a grin.

"The land has been at peace ever since Holy Blessings defeated Artemaius, the Demon King, a year ago"
